Currently, it trades around $1,220 (per CoinGecko), representing a 150% monthly increase and a staggering 2,450% explosion on a yearly scale. The main drivers behind the spectacular surge include the launch of Grayscale&#8217;s ZEC ETF, along with other factors, which you can explore in our detailed article <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/zec-just-hit-1200-what-you-need-to-know-about-its-meteoric-370-surge-in-3-months\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, three key developments suggest the asset&#8217;s relentless climb may be coming to an end. The first one is the TD Sequential indicator, which, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2097977070097768948\">according<\/a> to analyst Ali Martinez, has flashed a sell signal on the 3-day chart.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The last time this setup appeared, on May 19, it resulted in a 64% price correction. Worth paying attention to this one,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The second is ZEC&#8217;s Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has surged past 70. This indicates that the token has entered overbought territory and could be gearing up for a pullback. Conversely, ratios under 30 are typically considered bullish.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1448212\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1448212\" style=\"width: 2202px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ZEC-RSI.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1448212\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ZEC RSI, Source: CryptoWaves<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Last but not least, investors have been shifting from self-custody to crypto exchanges.

X user Altcoin Sherpa <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AltcoinSherpa\/status\/2097858050644160725\">described<\/a> the $1,000 and $1,100 levels as &#8220;interesting,&#8221; adding they would rather see price spend time in a specific region and &#8220;base out&#8221; than check the exact price for the bottom.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I still think this is a fantastic one to buy though for this cycle,&#8221; the analyst concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Crypto With Harris \u20bf <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Crypto__Haris\/status\/2097213332885524953\">argued<\/a> that as long as the price stays above $1,050, &#8220;there is no need to worry.&#8221; In his view, the masses buying now out of FOMO could trigger a major pump to a new all-time high of $10,000, and he predicts ZEC could reach that milestone before Ethereum (ETH).<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/3-reasons-why-zcash-zec-can-plunge-following-its-150-monthly-explosion\/\">3 Reasons Why Zcash (ZEC) Can Plunge Following Its 150% Monthly Explosion<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/3-reasons-why-zcash-zec-can-plunge-following-its-150-monthly-explosion\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ZEC has undoubtedly become crypto&#8217;s rock star lately, with its price skyrocketing to a ten-year high above $1,200.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47016,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47015\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/47016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
